Samsung Level headphone and speaker range officially unveiled

Samsung has officially launched the Level range of high-end speakers and headphones, which is set to launch across the world some time next month.Designed to please music fans, the Level range will initially launch with four products: the Level In, Level On and Level Over headphones, and the Level Box Bluetooth speaker. Each model includes features designed to work with the company's range of Galaxy smartphones and tablets: The Level In in-ear headphones will sit at the bottom of the range with a basic in-line volume control. A custom-designed three-way speaker system will provide a significant improvement in audio quality over rival models at a similar price level, according to Samsung.Next up are the Level On on-ear headphones, which Samsung says is designed for long listening sessions along with "clear and full-range audio reproduction" via 40mm dual-layered diaphragm speaker drivers.The Level Over tops the headphone range, with 50mm neodymium drivers and a bio-cellulose structure which the company says prevents resonance between the vibration plate and the frame. A hybrid active noise cancellation system is included as standard, with microphones both inside and outside the headset, while the headset connects wirelessly via Bluetooth.The final entry in the range is the Level Box, a compact Bluetooth speaker which includes near-field communications (NFC) technology for tap-to-pair connection to a smartphone. With a 56mm speaker and passive radiator, the speaker also includes hands-free support with built-in echo cancellation and noise reduction. A rechargeable battery should provide up to 15 hours of play time.Pricing for the Level family has yet to be confirmed, with Samsung promising more details at its UK launch in mid-May.
